Boston Be Ready: Here Come the Mets [J. Mark English]

In a rematch between the two teams that faced each other in the 1986 World Series, the road warriors...the New York Mets...come into play the Red Sox who with a win today over the Phillies, could be on a nine game winning streak.
Eddie Coleman of WFAN compared the pitching match ups of this series to a boxing card. The lightweight card would be Alay Soler vs. Jon Lester. Then the middle weight class will feature the former Red Sox, pitching in his first game at Fenway since leaving two years ago, Pedro Martinez vs. Josh Beckett. And the final card is the cream of the crop veterans, heavy weight champs, Tom Glavine vs. Curt Schilling.
Can it get much better then this folks? Yes. The Mets will play three at the Bronx this weekend. But for now, enjoy the games. I wonder how many Met players will be out at Fenway today to see the Phillies take on the Red Sox today.
